The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 855 Expelled?

When did Bi Yan appear?

Li Mu had no idea.

He wouldn’t even know that she had come to his side if she hadn’t spoken to him.

Obviously, she was much more powerful than him. That was why he didn’t feel her presence right away when she came to him.

He looked carefully at her mesmerizingly beautiful face. He couldn’t tell which part of her face was particularly good-looking. It was simply a flawless face that would make anyone’s heart beat faster. Her seaweed-like long green hair set off her fair, smooth skin.

However, there was a look of indescribable coldness and indifference on her face.

Even though she was standing right next to him, he still felt like she was thousands of miles away from him.

“Aren’t you going to explain why you left without saying goodbye that day?” Li Mu asked.

He remembered what the old faker had told him.

“Hmm, what characteristics can tell me if a girl is a virgin?

“Probably I can tell if she has lost her virginity based on those changes in physical characteristics applicable to mortals. After all, she is the Green Fox God.”

Bi Yan said, “What do you want me to explain? I just used you to get rid of the people of the six major Divine Clans who were trying to chase me down. After that, I got the two keys, but I didn’t kill you when I left. That’s good enough for you... Ah, don’t tell me that you think we’re in a serious relationship.”

Li Mu sighed and said, “Women are really efficient when it comes to changing their attitude.”

Bi Yan suddenly smiled.

Even though she was smiling, her eyes flashed coldly.

“What’s the matter? Are you sad?” She said, “I was just acting. You should know that. According to the stories circulated among mortals, fox demons like to cheat and deceive humans, don’t they?”

“So, you have planned the whole thing about the descent of the six major clans, right?” Once again, Li Mu remembered what the old faker said.

Bi Yan stopped smiling and said, “Didn’t the people in the Ziwei Star Zone tell you that the six major clans have long been under my control?”

When Li Mu heard that, he didn’t know what to say.

Bi Yan continued. “I wanted to kill you at first, but I decided to spare your life considering the fact that you risked your life to protect me at that time. Now, I have gradually adapted myself to the rules on Earth and restored my strength, so I don’t need you anymore. However, for the sake of our friendship, I advise you not to enter the immortal palace. Even the masters in the Deity Realm will have a slim chance of survival in there, let alone you. If you were to go there, you would end up becoming cannon fodder together with other practitioners of the so-called immortal sects.”

Li Mu said angrily, “Are you trying to show that you care about me?”

“I don’t care how you see it,” Bi Yan said with a look of helplessness. “That’s all I have to say. If I see you in danger in the immortal palace, I won’t help you, and maybe I will send you to hell if I’m in a bad mood.”

After that, she left directly without waiting for Li Mu to reply.

A shadow flashed.

Bi Yan appeared in front of the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List.

She attracted a lot of attention the moment she showed up.

She was so beautiful, looking just like the Fairy of Ninth Heaven. Her long green hair had some kind of strange power that could fascinate people’s souls. She was even more attractive than the Cloud Light Saintess and Fairy Shuiyue. As soon as she showed herself, she caught everyone’s eye at once.

“Who is she?”

“I’ve never seen her before. She’s so young and... so beautiful.”

“Could she be a disciple of some immortal sect? She looks very young, but she is going to go for the Heaven Rankings List. Is she serious?”

“I guess she’s a spoiled girl of a small sect who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

There were a lot of discussions among the crowd.

Many people were stunned by Bi Yan’s beauty, but they didn’t believe she had the power to get on the Heaven Rankings List.

She finally made a move.

Boom!

She struck the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List with her palm.

Golden light burst forth from the stone tablet as if there had been an explosion.

Many practitioners in the inner square suddenly felt a sharp pain in their eyes. They were almost blinded, and tears flowed from their eyes. Some of them reacted faster and ran their Qi to protect their eyes, but they could see nothing but golden rays.

When they regained sight, they found that the rankings on Heaven Rankings List had changed.

The three words “Green Fox God” ranked first place on the list.

The beautiful girl with long green hair became number one on the Heaven Rankings List.

However, she was nowhere to be seen now.

“What happened just now?”

“Is that woman... the Green Fox God? She is a god, isn’t she?”

“Number one on the Heaven Rankings List? Good heavens! She ranks even higher than the old monsters from the six Divine Clans of the Celestial Court. That’s... She didn’t hear what I just said, right?”

The practitioners who had been discussing Bi Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

They didn’t expect that the beautiful young woman would have such terrifying power.

Li Mu was also shocked and could not calm down for a moment.

“How could she be so powerful now?

“It hasn’t been long since she left...”

Some “old monsters” continued to compete for Heaven Rankings. Li Mu ranked second last on the list, but nobody laughed at him because his ranking was higher than that of Yu Jingfeng.

Yu Jingfeng got on the Heaven Rankings List as a practitioner in the Upper King Realm, which was shocking for many people.

Li Mu was just a practitioner in the King Realm, but he still managed to get on the Heaven Rankings List, which was quite an incredible miracle.

One could imagine how the oriental practitioners would talk about him and spread the news about him.

Li Mu left Jintai Temple before the competition for Heaven Rankings ended.

When he walked out of the inner square, the outer square was already crowded with practitioners from all over the world, even including some foreign practitioners. They flocked here as if they were going on a pilgrimage. Besides the crowd in the outer square, there were many people on the mountain roads and hillsides outside the outer square.

There was a sea of people.

As soon as Li Mu came out of the inner square, countless people immediately fixed their eyes on him.

“He’s coming out. Here he comes!”

“It’s Li Mu.”

“Why is he coming out so early?”

“Has he been driven out from the inner square?”

A heated discussion broke out within the crowd.

The news that Li Mu had entered the inner square to attend the Immortal-Devil Assembly had already spread around the outer square. Some people came late and did not see him going to the inner square, but they had heard of that. Some of them were jealous of him.

They believed that the tallest tree in a forest would be destroyed by the wind.

When they saw him coming out early, they did a lot of guessing.

Countless eyes were focused on him.

Li Mu knitted his brows.

He quickly examined the entire outer square and the mountain roads with his keen Divine Consciousness and detected many evil auras among the crowd. He could feel the karma in quite a few practitioners and the strong bloody vibes of some practitioners. Obviously, those practitioners had killed countless people.

They were practitioners in the mortal world, and they smelt of blood. Naturally, they must have killed many ordinary mortals and committed a lot of crimes. Some practitioners practicing evil cultivation methods had killed tens of people, which was very terrifying.

“In this big world, there are so many things beyond my control.”

Li Mu glanced at the people around him and said, “Now that you have come to Baoji City, you’d better behave yourselves and put away your claws. I don’t care what sect, clan or background you’re from. When this session of Immortal-Devil Assembly ends, you shall get the fuck out of here and stop doing evil deeds. The outburst of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is not for you to inflate your ego and commit crimes. Don’t blame me for being rude if you fall into my hands after committing offenses.”

With that, he began to walk through the crowd, followed by the Cloud Light Saintess.

The people around him looked at each other.

Naturally, there were some people who felt guilty.

“Stop right there.”

Someone shouted at Li Mu from behind.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk big in the presence of so many peers?” An old man with long red hair and a gloomy face sneered and said, “Do you really think that you are an immortal just because you’ve entered the inner square? He-he, you don’t know what’s good for you. You have been expelled before the event ends, haven’t you?”

The red-haired old man had a companion. The companion was a very ugly old man with a body like that of an ape and crisscrossing knife scars on his cheeks. He pointed at Li Mu and said, “Do you think you deserve to be called the Eastern God of War? He-he, it’s just that you made a name for yourself earlier, right? Three or five years ago, you could probably show off for a while, but now, everyone has been practicing. What gives you the courage to show off your lame monkey tricks?”

Li Mu stopped walking and turned around.

He glanced at the two old men and said, “Kill them.”

The people around them were stunned.

The Cloud Light Saintess knew what Li Mu meant.

She moved swiftly like a phantom, gently patted the two old men with her palm, and returned to Li Mu’s side in the blink of an eye.

Boom! Boom!

The two old men instantly turned into a mess of blood and flesh on the ground.

The crowd broke into exclamations of surprise.

The surrounding practitioners stepped back quickly.

Li Mu glanced around and said, “Does anyone else have anything to say?”

The square was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Li Mu turned around and left.

The Cloud Light Saintess followed behind him.

After a long time, the crowd in the square began to discuss again.

“Li Mu is so cruel and violent. He killed people at will. He is simply a tyrant,” a delicate girl with some baby fat said indignantly.

“You’re right. He is a murderous demon who acts with utter disregard for other people’s lives, but he has been claiming himself to be a guarding deity. He is so shameless...” said the best friend of the delicate girl, who was a beauty too. She had dark eyebrows and looked quite sensible. She was about 18 years old, and she had an indignant look on her face.

An old practitioner said, “Girls, you’re too young to know the people who have just been killed. They are Xu Ben, who is known as the blood demon, and Zheng Si, known as the demon mountain. Nobody knows how many innocent people have died at the hands of these two notorious evil murderers over the past year. They practice evil skills and kill people relentlessly without remorse. They deserve to die.”

“Indeed, they should die. Li Mu has really eliminated the scourges for the people,” another practitioner said.

The beautiful girl with a round face said, “Although they deserve to die, they should be tried first. Li Mu killed them at will. He is no different from them.”

A debate broke out.

Just then, the gate of the inner square was opened again.

The successor of Chunyang Clan known as the Immortal Taoist walked out.

“Everyone, this session of Immortal-Devil Assembly is over. Those who want to be the disciples of immortal sects may hand in the application card now,” the Immortal Taoist said. “But I have to make it clear beforehand. Be prepared to be accepted or rejected, and do not bother if you’re not meant for immortality.”

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The sensible girl suddenly remembered something. She asked, “Is the event over? May I ask you a question?”

Seeing that the girl was quite smart, the Immortal Taoist said, “Sure, go ahead.”

The girl asked, “Why has Li Mu been expelled? What mistake did he make?”

“Mistake?” The Immortal Taoist was confused. “Who said he was expelled?”
